Name: Tayna Snell
Age: 30
Background knowledge information:
I decided to join the S.C.I.P.P group after reading a pleading letter to the editor regarding the lack of skate facilities in our community. For 8 years, I was a youth development worker with the city of Vancouver. In that role, I helped start the Vancouver Skate Park Coalition ( a group of 80+ members that was successful in securing $320.000 from capitol funds to develop a skate park).

I have lived in the area for 1 year now, I have no children, but love working with them, I'm on the Youth Committee as well as the Adult Committee. I bring my experience, engergy and strong commitment to youth to this group, in hopes of achieving the same results for our community.
